Ways We Help
Individual Therapy
Career demands, family tension, or relationship worries can leave little room to notice your own needs. Individual therapy gives teens and adults time to examine those pressures and choose what to work on.
Who This Is For
We see people overwhelmed with career, family, and relationship issues, including those managing anxiety, panic, or mood dysregulation. You can bring a recent change or a pattern that has followed you for years.
- Teens 13 to 17
- Young adults 18 to 25
- Adults 26 to 64
Focus of Care
What We Work On
Anxiety and Panic
Worry, physical alarm, and situations you have started avoiding.
Mood Dysregulation
Emotional changes and your responses when feelings become difficult.
Burnout and Stress
Demands at work, school, or home that leave you worn out.
Life Transitions
Decisions, changing roles, and questions about what matters next.
How We Work
We make time for introspection, reframing of thoughts, and practicing new skills to manage emotions. We might examine one difficult conversation, the thoughts it brought up, and a response you want to try. Your feedback helps us decide what to keep or change. Questions about a skill are welcome.
- CBT
- Mindfulness-based approaches
- Solution-focused therapy
- MI and FIT
What Can Shift
Your goals might include recognizing panic sooner, responding differently during conflict, or making a decision about work. We look at how those goals relate to your week, including what felt different and what still felt difficult.
What Sessions Look Like
Individual sessions are 50 minutes at 9655 Granite Ridge Drive, Suite 200, San Diego, or by telehealth anywhere in California. In the consultation, we can talk about the setting you prefer.
You and your clinician choose a focus for the conversation. A recent stressful moment can give us a specific starting point for reflection or skills practice.
Fees in Brief
Individual, couples and family sessions are 50 minutes. We are in network with many plans and provide superbills for out-of-network benefits. Contact us for rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does the First Session Go?
We talk about what brought you in and how it affects your days. One concern is enough to begin; your whole history can wait.
In Person or Telehealth?
Both formats are available. We can talk about clinician availability and which setting fits your life in California.
How Long Does Therapy Last?
It depends on your goals. We review progress and the usefulness of sessions together rather than setting a standard number.
Can I Switch Clinicians?
We want to hear what feels missing or uncomfortable. Together, we can discuss your preferences and the options available.
